Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Workers and Unemployed Action Group)

An important factor in the case of Kickham Barracks in Clonmel is that the complex is a protected structure. There might have been a chance of selling a barracks in buoyant property times but the fact this complex is a protected structure and is particularly important will mean it will not be possible to this property if it comes on the market. We do not want to end up with a barracks like McKee Barracks, which is effectively derelict.
